Dugout Discussion – Crystal Palace vs Arsenal

Gameweek 32 concludes at Selhurst Park as Crystal Palace – with victories in four of their last five Premier League matches – look to maintain their recent revival against London rivals Arsenal.

Sam Allardyce’s’ Eagles have kept clean sheets in their last two home outings but a shut-out looks unlikely this evening: they face an Arsenal side who have scored in each of their previous twenty matches in the Premier League, with key Fantasy asset Alexis Sanchez a big factor in that statistic.

The Chilean has notched 12 goals and supplied five assists on the road this season – more than any other player – and is backed by 309,000+ or 7% with the captaincy this evening.

He’s supported by an in-form Theo Walcott, with the FPL midfielder boasting goals in back-to-back Gameweeks as he bids to provide us with a cheaper alternative to Sanchez. Impressively, Walcott has scored 18 goals from his last 23 starts in all competitions.

    Going to get Benteke. Palace look really good. That was a goal had it not been for a brilliant last ditch block

        Changing Sanchez from striker back to a wide player has to be one of the worst decisions I've ever seen in the prem. What the hell did he stand to gain by doing that?...Arsenal and Alexis were scoring for fun and flying high...

        Why would you change it?

          It's typical of him to change things for the sake of it, they were so good before, absolutely no reason to move him out wide other than pride imo.

      I got laughed at earlier in the season for saying Zaha was actually one of the best mids in the prem....both attacking wise and tracking back....and he is,

      He'd be a monster pick of Hazard proportions in a top notch team.
